EYELID 2 DAMAGE
Prissi C.

Made an appointment for my 3 dogs - one dog needed a full groom, one needed a sanitary cut, and the other just a bath. The owner Lisa quoted me $185 for all 3 of my pups and included additional cost for matting because I advised her up front that my pup for groom was severely matted all over and my pup for sanitary cut had bad mattes under her ears and on the backs of her legs. Appointment day rolls around and my experience started off terribly from the jump. The woman opening that day was over 30 minutes late. When she FINALLY arrived, she had her own dog running loose behind the counter and it was bouncing up and down like a ping pong ball so I asked her if it is always loose and hyper when there are customers' dogs there for grooming. She immediately got rude demanding, "Why? Is your dog aggressive?!" I told her, "No, he will not bite, but if your hyperactive dog jumps on his face, he will growl to let her know that she's invading his personal space as he's older and doesn't like that." She refused to listen and when her dog jumped on mine's face, he growled, her dog cowered away, and my dog walked away to sniff around. He NEVER even bared his teeth at her dog, but the woman insisted I place him in a separate area fenced off from other dogs. I immediately accommodated her request although I felt it ridiculous as her dog was out of control and untrained. I then brought in my two small dogs and went over in detail with two different employees exactly what needed to be done for each. They both repeated it back to me so I went to work with the understanding that my dogs would be taken care of as requested. Sometime later in the morning, I received a call from Lisa that the groomer had nicked one of my dog's eyelids when attempting to cut off a mat, but that it wasn't serious and was no longer bleeding. As I have worked in several veterinarian clinics that offered grooming services, I was understanding because I know that these are living animals that move and accidents happen and she said it was JUST A NICK. A few hours later, I get a text message from the owner that there is another issue with another one of my dogs and they were not going to finish her groom. I called immediately to find out what the problem was and, after speaking with the owner, she agreed to finish the sanitary cut as discussed. However, when I arrived at 4:30 to pick up my dogs, my American Bulldog (bath only) had been cut on his ear and quikstop (the stuff used when a dog's nails are cut too short) was used to stop the bleeding. My "double-coated" long-haired dachshund (sanitary cut only) had been shaved down nearly to her skin, completely ruining her coat and making her unable to heat and cool her body properly. The worst was the nick that wasn't just a nick. My dog's eye was still bleeding when I picked her up as they nearly cut her eye lid completely OFF! To add insult to injury, the owner actually had the audacity to charge me MORE than we initially agreed upon saying that the injuries happened to my dog's because of my neglect. I didn't want to end up in jail for assualt so I threw the $200 across the counter and left with my traumatized dogs. Not only should Lisa have waived all charges, she should have paid the vet bill for my dog that they nearly blinded. Vet told us they were less than 1mm from blinding her in that eye. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN PERMANENTLY!!!!!!

Thank you Austin and company. Dogs look and smell amazing. Charlie's is your biggest fan. Appreciate your services and demeanor with our pups.

See all

The owner agreed to pay for the injured dog's vet bills. That is a helpful positive step and a sign of someone who cares.

My 3 year old dogs have never been to the groomers before and were very nervous. Lisa was great with them. I will definitely be going back.

The staff it's always friendly and I always find excellent help. My dog Antonio loves the…read moregroomers too.

I used to recommend this place to everyone. Not anymore…read more After three years of loyal business and bringing both of my dogs here, what I experienced recently was completely unacceptable. I dropped off my senior dog, who's nearly 12 and has severe anxiety, for a scheduled grooming. An hour later, I got a call saying they couldn't groom him because he didn't have his updated rabies documentation.... which is completely understandable. What's not acceptable is that they let him sit in a cage for an hour before contacting me, fully knowing they wouldn't be grooming him. If the paperwork was missing, why not send him home when he was being dropped off. When I asked, calmly, why he had to sit there for an hour unnecessarily, the staff member on the phone was rude and condescending. No real answer -- just attitude. I had someone pick him up immediately. Meanwhile, they went ahead with grooming my younger dog. I had given very clear, written instructions: bath, haircut, and anything else she needed. When I picked her up, it was obvious she had only been bathed : not groomed. I asked why nothing had been trimmed on her back or ears or butt, and they told me, "We only did her feet and belly because some clients get upset when we do too much." Seriously? If I wanted a foot and belly trim, I would've written that. I wrote "haircut." This is the second time I've paid for a haircut and received a glorified bath. But even that wasn't the most upsetting part. I've been coming to this location for three years -- and I didn't recognize a single staff member that day. It looked like a team of overwhelmed, disinterested kids who didn't want to be there. One girl was elbowing a dog on the grooming table to hold it down while another shouted at it to stop moving -- clearly frustrated and rough. They didn't even realize I was standing there, watching. To top it off, my senior dog was just in two weeks ago for a nail trim -- no one asked for rabies documentation then. So what changed? Honestly, it felt like they just didn't want to bother with a larger, older dog who requires more time and patience. Then the icing on the cake: later that day, my boyfriend got an email saying we were unprofessional -- and that they'd no longer be accepting our elderly dog. Not both dogs. Just the one that requires more effort. That told me everything I needed to know. This place used to be professional, trustworthy, and kind. Not anymore. What I witnessed was chaotic, careless, and borderline abusive. I'm heartbroken and disgusted. I will never be bringing my dogs here again -- and I wouldn't recommend anyone else trust them with theirs either.
